“…Our PICU's patients are predominately elective, congenital cardiac surgery patients. The validity of the previous-generation PRISM algorithm (43) was questioned for this population (44,45), but in the PRISM III validation study, the SMR for cardiac-operative patients was 1.006, suggesting good model fit for this patient subset.…”

Using multivariate logistic regression to control for important clinical differences, neither weekend admission, weekend discharge/death, nor evening admission had a significant independent effect on mortality risk in the entire sample or for the emergency patient subset. Our findings are consistent with previous work demonstrating the benefit of intensive care units staffed 24 hrs/day, 7-days/wk by in-house, board-certified intensivists.

“…The score is very well validated with a large sample size involving different PICUs. 17,18 But the PRISM score also has some methodological limitations. The collection of large amount of information needed to calculate PRISM is laborious.…”
